Check Engine Podcast

To use a phrase coined by Tristan, for Andrew, be wrong and suck it! In this episode, we go over our "guilty pleasure" cars that are either a: bad, but we love them anyway or b: haven't worked their way into the collective consciousness of "car people" the way they should have. And frankly, that's wrong! Listen in today to hear us air our secret car desires and try to spread some awareness of under-appreciated cars! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/checkenginepodcast/support
